The world's most expensive home has just hit the market for a reported $1.1 billion. The estate, Villa Les Cèdres, is located on the Mediterranean in the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) , just between Nice and Monaco in an area known as the "Billionaires' Playground."
The home features 10 bedrooms, a ballroom, concierge, a chapel, 50-meter swimming pool dug into the rocks, a winter garden and stables for 30 horses. This one-of-a-kind property also features one of the most beautiful private gardens in Europe, with over 15,000 rare tropical species.
